Labor Is Opposed
To Extra Session
Transactions Tax Merely
Sales Levy Disguised
Says Ben Osborne
PORTLAND. Oca. 20-6P)-Ben
T. Osborne, secretary of the Ore
gon State Federation of Labor,
called upon tbe 425 affiliated un
ions today to oppose efforts to
have a special session of the legis
lature called to enact a transac
tions tax to provide old-age pen-
vision funds.
Osborne requested that in the
event the session is called, the un
ionists communicate with legisla
tors in a campaign of opposition
to the proposed legislation.
"Do not be deceived," he said
in a letter to local unions, and cen
tral and department councils.
"A sales tax by any other name
is just as odious as it it were
called a sales tax."
The letter asserted that propo
sal of the transactions tax as a
means of paying pensions was a
subterfuge to cover the real pur
pose of relieving ''large property
owners and to prevent the imposi
tion of heavier income taxes upon
the large incomes."
The letter recalled that sales
tax proposals had been defeated
in the state on three previous oc
cations. Governor Charles Martin was
expected to announce a decision
next week on petitions, bearing
86,000 signatures, presented by
Townsend organizations and urg
ing the special session.

nomah county if they left by the
front door, but were legal respon
slbilities t of Clackamas county
when they left by the back door.
Then Baker,' discovering that
the parents vote in Milwaukee and

county, considered ousting the

Industrial Union Is Refused
y Dism issal, Coercion Charge
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct KHJPh
Trial Examiner Harry Hazel de
nied a motion 'to dismiss charges
of "company "unionism", against
the Industrial- Employes' Union,
Inc., at a national labor relations
board hearing here today.
Nicholas Jaureguy, attorney for
the IEU, moved dismissal of the
charges against that organization
on the ground the trial was "a
direct" effort to cripple the IEU
with expense because it has low
dues and no assessments.
He also contended there were
no - charges against the IEU In
the complaint, but merely a state
ment it had been coerced. -
' "If there has been coercion, we
want It removed, but we deny
there has. been," Jaureguy said.

Chief Is Dubious
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 OP)
president Roosevelt, informed
persons said tonight, has caution
ed farm leaders against pushing
crop loans to a point where the
drain on federal revenues be
comes too great.
Certain of the leaders called on
him today to ask 60-cents-a-bush-el
loans on corn to improve prices
While there was no word as to
whether their plea would be
granted, . Mr. Roosevelt was un
derstood to have raised the ques
tion whether the budget would
permit wide extension of loans at
this time.
However, Secretary of Agricul
ture Wallace subsequently told a
press conference, a government
loan on this year's large corn crop
should be exceedingly desir
able." He declined to . say what
loan rate he favored but conceded
that a corn loan of about 46 cents
a bushel would be comparable to
the government's 9-cent-a-pound
loan on this year's cotfon crop.
Request for the corn loans was
made by Edward A. O'Neal, pres
ident of the American Farm bu
reau federation. .
